arm-elf-ld 2.16.1 crash at bfd/elf32-arm.c:5536

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Shaun,

> Good news! I found the test case that reproduces my bug. It involves objcopy:

And ignoring a rather important warning message from the linker:

> unknown architecture of input file `empty.o' is incompatible with arm
> output

But nevertheless the linker should not seg fault, so I have created a 
patch to fix the problem.

Could you do me a couple of favours please ?

   1. Could you try out the attached patch and make sure that it works 
for you with your original test case.

   2. Please could you create a bugzilla entry for this so that we have 
somewhere to record this bug, how to reproduce it and how it was fixed.

Cheers
   Nick
